York Races 2016 – Are you prepared?

York Races 2016 – Are you prepared?

The 2016 York Racing season is upon us and now is the time for venues to consider their security options. The majority of the race meets are problem free and don’t have a massive impact on business in terms of crime & disorder however there is definitely a difference in atmosphere across the city.

Last year we provided security services at various venues, on top of our regular contracts. These included hotels such as Hotel 53, Park Inn & The Royal York Hotel. Our night time economy venues booked extra provisions too as a preventative measure.

Security operatives don’t only provide a visual deterrent against disorder but also provide reassurance to regular customers.

Police presence is increased across the city in a bid to reassure residents and visitors and these officers are connected with our staff on the city center radio system which is also monitored by the council’s CCTV control room.
